On Tap

On tap, we offer a fantastic selection of local IPAs and world-class lagers, alongside our resident ale, Langham’s Session Bitter. This deep golden beer has tropical fruit, pineapple, and citrus notes on the nose, balanced by a smooth maltiness. It finishes with a dry, bitter edge and a delicate floral hop aroma, making it the perfect choice for a relaxed evening.

We take pride in showcasing high-quality, locally brewed beers, ensuring there’s always something great to enjoy.

Wood Fired Pizza

Wood-Fired Pizza with a British Twist – in the Heart of Old Portsmouth
Tucked away in the historic streets of Old Portsmouth, our cosy restaurant brings together tradition and flavour with our signature wood-fired pizzas. Cooked to perfection in our authentic wood oven, each pizza features hand-stretched dough, fresh local ingredients, and a touch of coastal character. From timeless classics to seasonal specials inspired by British favourites, it’s comfort food done right – with a crackle of fire and a taste of home.
